    To me, their natural bristle brushes look so much better than their synthetics and I finally figured out why: To me, the knots on synthetic brushes remind me of a woman's make up brush.

    Yaqi makes all kinds of brushes for Women & Men, They get there badger hair right from one of the only few sources in the world> China is a also a huge consumer of Pork so they have a endless source of Boar bristle(they do not have a big line up of boar brushes, European brand names dominate boar brushes IMO). The Yaqi Viper boar brush is a good one from my very limited uses of boar brushes & feels just about right and will be a regular in my line up of brushes. Yaqi synthetics shaving brushes feel very good also and I have a large assortment of those great brushes. The Yaqi 2band 24 mm badgers are very good IMO. (Yaqi fanboy> buy their sales.)

    I could make a comparison as to what their synthetic brushes with the reddish crimped hairs looks like but I won't.

    Let's just say that they are pleasant memories and leave it at that.

    I guess I don't want to be thinking of those things when I am shaving with a straight!

    Razor: Yaqi 50mm AC,V1 Excalibur- Mfg 2021> great tame mid range, great results, mostly carefree shaving and enjoyable.
    Blade: China Blue blade 50mm(3), I received these blades with my Shavette, Sharp & smooth but longevity iffy IMO(testing).
    Soap: Williams Mug soap- great soap if you apply the lather pastier or thicker and add very little water, to much water you will find it not that good a lather. Once you know what to look for it is a great soap. Nice lemony scent with good slickness protection.
    Brush: Yaqi 24mm tuxedo knot, with black marble acrylic handle, excellent lather generator, nice scrubber, cloud like soft tips + great lather painter.
    Pre shave: (Cashmere 24mm syn, 720+ shaves)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on clean beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: Razorock American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe balm.(Great stuff, scentless)
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 weeper= [​IMG]excellent shave with my Yaqi V1 Excalibur razor with a blue blade.
